Hotel Le
Bristol is often described as an intimate palace combined with refined elegance
and extraordinarily attentive, gracious service. Opened in 1924, the hotel now
stands grander and more elegant than ever, after a recent multi-million dollar re-furbishment
project. Built in Eiffel style, Hotel Le Bristol features original art and
Gobelin tapestries throughout the hotel. Its lobby displays 23 Baccarat crystal
chandeliers, a Carrara marble floor with a 19th century Savonnerie carpet.

Hotel Le Bristol
is renowned for offering its distinguished guests, composed largely of the
world's statesmen and CEO's, the utmost in personalized service. It provides a
staff to guest ratio of two to one. The hotel also has a summer and winter
restaurant, and a brand new fitness center. The glass enclosed roof-top
swimming pool is set in solid teak and gives the impression of the prow of an
ocean liner sailing towards Sacre Coeur and the Paris skyline. A Trompe L'Oeil
of the Eden Roc Hotel at Cap D'Antibes enhance the vision. Bay windows open out
onto a sun deck with lounge chairs which overlook Paris. A 13,000 square foot
manicured garden with flowers and camelia trees lies at the heart of the hotel.

Spa Le Bristol byLa Prairie, the definition of French luxury

One of the newest and most haute couture spas to open recently in Paris is Spa Le Bristol Spa by La Prairie, the definition of French luxury. Designed by Maja Oetker herself with the guiding collaboration of famous architect Pierre-Yves Rochon,
the 3-level spa bathes you in natural light and fresh air, above all
when you book one of their treatment rooms with a private garden
terrace. Or, reserve one of the “Duo” cabins and be sure to ask for the
one that comes with its own Turkish and whirlpool baths in addition to the private balcony terrace. Relaxation spa nibbles are provided by Chef Eric Frechon, Le Bristol’s own chef with three Michelin stars.
Color palette of serene sand and tan is no less than what you would
expect from one of the world’s most iconic luxury hotels made immortal
by Woody Allen’s Midnight In Paris.With
accents of amber and gold that lend warmth and white orchids that grace
small nooks, the overall ambiance is welcoming and peaceful. In
addition to their Parisian exclusive La Prairiealliance,
they also offer a multi-hydro treatment room, the “Russian Room,”
singularly situated underneath the main treatment area where a Russian
Spa Treatment is offered using medicinal herbs combined simultaneously
with water therapy as you receive your full body massage.

THE KITCHEN

In the
Kitchen, Chef Eric Frechon revisits the basics of French Cuisine with style.
His creed" To bring back products that were unfairly taken out of the
gastronomic vocabulary that one should appreciate solely for their simplicity.
The Chef's respect for products has evolved into him giving simple foods the
attention that they deserve, such as "Macaroni in Black Truffles" and
"Chicken Breast". Since he joined Le Bristol in 1998, the Normandy-born
Chef sought to develop a style of cooking that he defines as "Cuisine
based on France's culinary culture which is changing constantly, like language:
a cuisine that combines flavours, spices and fresh herbs." Chef Eric
Frechon invites you to savour his imaginative cuisine that gives pride to the
purest, most natural flavours allowing them to express their full taste and
character. Throughout the year the Chef orchestrates and highlights seasonal
products on several occasions such as the Mushroom Month in the autumn or the Truffle
Month in January.

could just take off and fly away from that living hell? Of course you did! But
what if we told you that your daydream is not very far from reality? PAL-V

can also take off and fly over obstacles just like a regular helicopter.

vehicle features a gasoline engine that pushes it to speeds of up to 112 mph,
both on the road and in the air. Being cleared to fly below 4,000 feet (the

an alternative route around the obstacle.
